The Blackest Night Is Upon Us

A stainless steel print of a black power ring from the Blackest Night comics.

Black Lantern Commando

This is what happens when you merge the DC Universe with Star Wars. :D

Buckets n' Deeces

Well actually, it's just one bucket and deece. Finally had the models printed, and they are now sitting proudly on my work desk.

Betty The Cow

A dairy cow I created last year for a dairy product company's TVC. Essentially a modified stock 3D cow model with diffuse, specular and normal maps.

I can't seem to remember the name of the real cow we took photos of...

Also, i'm announcing my withdrawal from DW5, just took up a few jobs, and it's gonna be a rough ride. Rock on.

Rage Rant

I just need to get some shit off my chest.

Went to PJ to meet a client and discuss job details, and left just in time to get stuck in the daily jam. RAGEEEEEEEEEEE. Okay I digress.

Got back home and received a call from my sis, telling me that the black 'Old Boy' is on the streets again, this time in dangerous territory where dogs were found mutilated in the past. Grabbed my gear and ran down the street to pick him up and bring him back to our place. Again.

'Old Boy' is at least 13-14 years old, judging from the way he walks and his overall condition. Walked him around the block in an attempt to find his owner, but no luck. None of the neighbours had seen 'Old Boy' before.

On the way back, some dumb fool shouted, "For real ah?". He was shouting out his window in an unlit room (coward), accusing me of letting my dog pee all around. To put it simply, he tasted my wrath, drawing attention from the guard, foreign workers and neighbours. RAGEEEEEEEEEEE.

Got back, fed him and all, and within an hour the owner's daughter came and picked him up. The old dawg's real name is Lucky, and boy is he lucky to have met me and my sis. Twice.

Lucky trying to befriend my girl.

So, pet owners... please be careful. Kthnxbye.

Dominance War V - 3D WIP 1

Update! Worked on the coat today, and it's my first time modelling clothing! No idea what to call him, so he'll be the God Of The Void for now.

Dominance War V - Concept WIP 1

Going for a humanoid this year. I know I have a helmet fetish, I just can't help it :D Still playing around with the design for now, I'm still caught up with the Cross Fate project.

On a side note, I went for another volunteer session at the dog shelter, and took more videos this time. Might post 'em up sometime soon.

Cross Fate Project - UN Grunt

This is one of those goon units in mech stories. Belongs to UN (not the RL one lol). Please do not use the image without permission kthanksbye.

Bucket!

Started a sculpting project a week ago, and things are starting to look right after many frustrating fixes.

Made a few color variants for the buy'ce/bucket/helmet.

Cross Fate Project - Verein Standard

Gonna stop working on the Verein for now, and get back to the UN Grunt. Forgot the poly count, but it's well below 10k as usual. Currently has 4 UV sets (Head, Torso, Arms, Legs) with 2048x2048 textures (Diffuse, Specular, Normals, Emissive).

Republic Commando - Stealth Armor

Whipped up a stealth version just for kicks. Project status : Unknown. Will finish up after Cross Fate project.

*Edit : Fixed visor's glow bleeding

Cross Fate Project Updates 1

Just completed the highpoly for another mech called Verein (Standard). Gonna add details using nDo, a Photoshop plugin. A really quick way of adding small details straight onto normal maps.

On a side note, my prayers go to the helpless animals out there who are suffering/ have suffered in the hands of demons in human form. Far too many abusive people out there. Visit MDDB - Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better if you wish to support them in their mission to bring abuse cases/abusers to light. God bless.

Prosper!

A simple painting I did (two, actually) using 13" canvases bought back in 2009. It was painted with :

2 coats of mural paint

2 coats of gold acrylic paint for the word, 3 for the sides of the canvas

I even packed it up so it wouldn't get scratched. I'll need to look for a sealant/varnish to finalize it.

United Nations Mech - WIP 1

Work in progress! A United Nations mech in a Reaper color scheme (subject to change).

Happy New Year !!!

May this year be blessed with peace and recovery.
